c521efd170 tracing: Add pipe_close interface
An ftrace plugin can add a pipe_open interface when the user opens
trace_pipe. But if the plugin allocates something within the pipe_open
it can not free it because there exists no pipe_close. The hook to
the trace file open has a corresponding close. The closing of the
trace_pipe file should also have a corresponding close.

56053170ea hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation
Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
  to a task.
- Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint

This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
breakpoint. What we want in this case is:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
  in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
- Add both

This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to
register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.

6ad4c18884 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

b326e9560a hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callback
struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
as it triggers even when we don't overflow.

We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
rules, being called only when we overflow.

    ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses

    Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
    the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
    previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces

Implement an synchronize_rcu_expedited() for preemptible RCU
that actually is expedited.  This uses
synchronize_sched_expedited() to force all threads currently
running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section onto the
appropriate ->blocked_tasks[] list, then takes a snapshot of all
of these lists and waits for them to drain.

cf244dc01b rcu: Enable fourth level of TREE_RCU hierarchy
Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.  This is for stress-testing and experiemental
purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216
CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit
systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will
normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system,
though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters
may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.

d3f6bad391 rcu: Rename "quiet" functions
The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the
names are no longer very descriptive.  The point of all of these
functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a
quiescent state, so rename them accordingly:

o	cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a
	quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure.  If this
	turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period,
	then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the
	quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs)
	up the rcu_node hierarchy.

o	cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which
	reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state
	structure.

o	task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports
	a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical
	section that had previously blocked in that same critical section.
	As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is
	reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp()
	to do so).

35dead4235 modules: don't export section names of empty sections via sysfs
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
  Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487

Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.

An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
  1 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c  00000000  00000000  00000058  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
  3 .text         00000000  00000000  00000000  000000d4  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.

The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

0cf55e1ec0 sched, cputime: Introduce thread_group_times()
This is a real fix for problem of utime/stime values decreasing
described in the thread:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/522

Now cputime is accounted in the following way:

 - {u,s}time in task_struct are increased every time when the thread
   is interrupted by a tick (timer interrupt).

 - When a thread exits, its {u,s}time are added to signal->{u,s}time,
   after adjusted by task_times().

 - When all threads in a thread_group exits, accumulated {u,s}time
   (and also c{u,s}time) in signal struct are added to c{u,s}time
   in signal struct of the group's parent.

So {u,s}time in task struct are "raw" tick count, while
{u,s}time and c{u,s}time in signal struct are "adjusted" values.

And accounted values are used by:

 - task_times(), to get cputime of a thread:
   This function returns adjusted values that originates from raw
   {u,s}time and scaled by sum_exec_runtime that accounted by CFS.

 - thread_group_cputime(), to get cputime of a thread group:
   This function returns sum of all {u,s}time of living threads in
   the group, plus {u,s}time in the signal struct that is sum of
   adjusted cputimes of all exited threads belonged to the group.

The problem is the return value of thread_group_cputime(),
because it is mixed sum of "raw" value and "adjusted" value:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(thread){{u,s}time} + exited({u,s}time)

This misbehavior can break {u,s}time monotonicity.
Assume that if there is a thread that have raw values greater
than adjusted values (e.g. interrupted by 1000Hz ticks 50 times
but only runs 45ms) and if it exits, cputime will decrease (e.g.
-5ms).

To fix this, we could do:

  group's {u,s}time = foreach(t){task_times(t)} + exited({u,s}time)

But task_times() contains hard divisions, so applying it for
every thread should be avoided.

This patch fixes the above problem in the following way:

 - Modify thread's exit (= __exit_signal()) not to use task_times().
   It means {u,s}time in signal struct accumulates raw values instead
   of adjusted values.  As the result it makes thread_group_cputime()
   to return pure sum of "raw" values.

 - Introduce a new function thread_group_times(*task, *utime, *stime)
   that converts "raw" values of thread_group_cputime() to "adjusted"
   values, in same calculation procedure as task_times().

 - Modify group's exit (= wait_task_zombie()) to use this introduced
   thread_group_times().  It make c{u,s}time in signal struct to
   have adjusted values like before this patch.

 - Replace some thread_group_cputime() by thread_group_times().
   This replacements are only applied where conveys the "adjusted"
   cputime to users, and where already uses task_times() near by it.
   (i.e. sys_times(), getrusage(), and /proc/<PID>/stat.)

This patch have a positive side effect:

 - Before this patch, if a group contains many short-life threads
   (e.g. runs 0.9ms and not interrupted by ticks), the group's
   cputime could be invisible since thread's cputime was accumulated
   after adjusted: imagine adjustment function as adj(ticks, runtime),
     {adj(0, 0.9) + adj(0, 0.9) + ....} = {0 + 0 + ....} = 0.
   After this patch it will not happen because the adjustment is
   applied after accumulated.

v2:
 - remove if()s, put new variables into signal_struct.

I introduced this regression in 49557e6203 (sched: Fix
boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks).

Use the bootmem allocator if they set isolcpus=, otherwise
allocate and zero like normal.
